How'd you choose your screen name?

[Texas1911]

Texas1911, I guess I should have my Law enforcement friends behind me throwing our gang signs.Two Os forming handcuffs.

That'd be tight.

 

[Longtooths]

There was an ole phrase my uncle used to use to describe any animals on his farm that had gotten older. He would say that they were getting long in the tooth. On of the last times I saw him in the hospital, I walked in and he had tubes sticking out of him everywhere, IV bottles etc. He asked my mother who the hell is this? I said it's me "Unc". As he started to realize, he brightened up, and took me all in from head to toe and said, Holy shit boy you done went and got long in the tooth on me.

I loved my uncle very much. Over the years it has been morphed to become Longtooths or LT. It helps me remember him every day. I also wear his wedding ring on my right hand in remembrance.

 

[PhilR]

[DrBart2]

I created this name without thought when my son wanted me to play an online game with him. I have used it for everything else since. It is easy for my feeble mind to remember.

 

[poletax]

I got poletax from a friend.
Around here the Tax man was runnin outta things to tax.
Genius that they are,they decided to tax standing timber on yer property.Hence the Pole Tax.
My friend was describing his honeymoon.He said the taxman woulda charged him a pole tax.

 

[dbgun]

My initials + gun. Not very creative, but easy to remember. Plus I use it on some other forums.

 

[Cobra]

Mine came from my boxing days as a middleweight (a few pounds and decades ago), when one of my opponent's trainer made a comment after a fight that I wasn't expected to win. I had very fast hands and I was all over his guy and the comment was made that I was as fast as a cobra. I've had it ever since.

 

[htxred]

i used to turn really red when i drink, and htx is houston, tx.. guys over at m1911.org took it apon themselves to accuse me of being a gangster and pretty much almost banned me, gave me warnings when i tried to defend myself. so i decided to just leave that place alone.

[Joat]

Jack Of All Trades

My buddies gave me my handle because of the abundance of hobbies that I have.
